Fatemeh Karroubi was allowed to leave her home, where she is under house arrest with her husband Mehdi Karroubi, to receive medical treatment.
Saham News, the website close to the opposition leader Mehdi Karroubi, reported that on April 23 Fatemeh Karroubi was finally allowed a visit with her doctor.
After opposition leaders Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi rallied protesters to join demonstration on February 14 in support of the recent Arab uprisings in the region, the two leaders along with their wives were put under house arrest by Islamic Republic authorities. They have been completely cut off from the outside world, and the authorities have blocked all efforts to get news of their situation and health.
While the opposition leaders were even denied visits from their family members, sons of the Karroubis have been allowed to visit their parents a couple of times in the past month.
While both Mehdi and Fatemeh Karroubi have been reported to be in general good health, Fatemeh Karroubi has reportedly lost a lot of weight.

A number of teachers in Hamadan have been summoned by Iranian authorities in advance of next week's Iranian Day of the Teacher.
Jaras reports that Ali Najafi, Mohammad Khani and Saeed Jahanara, members of Hamadan's teacher’s union, have been summoned to court. According to the report, these activists were also arrested last year on charges of "propaganda against the regime."
Following the controversial election of 2009 and the disputed re-election of Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, the authorities have persistently cracked down on social activists and blocked any sort of attempt to create public gatherings and statements.
Ali Akbar Baghani, Mahmoud Beheshti, Rasoul Bedaghi, Alireza Hashemi and Abdollah Momeni are some of the teachers currently behind bars and serving harsh prison terms for the charge of endangering national security or propagating against the regime.
Last year, Farzad Kamangar, a teacher and union member in the southwest province of Kurdistan, was hanged by the Islamic Republic for the charge of "enmity against God."

U.S. president Barack Obama accused Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad of a "brutal" crackdown on his people and of "seeking Iranian assistance in repressing Syria’s citizens through the same brutal tactics that have been used by his Iranian allies.”
Obama called for an immediate end to the new wave of attacks against Syrian protesters.
On the sixth Friday of protests against the government, Syrian security forces shot at protesters, killing at least 75 people, according to Amnesty International.
The French daily Libération reported that the demonstrations took shape following a Facebook rally call in various Syrian cities.
In Daraa, 10,000 protesters reportedly took to the streets, chanting their demands for freedom and support for recent victims of the protest crackdown. They also demanded the dismantling of Syrian intelligence and prosecution of its members. Syrian protests began five weeks ago, and demands for an end to corruption are gradually being transformed into demands for regime change.
Along with the crackdown, Bashar Al-Assad has responded to the protests by trying to employ a series of reforms, starting with an end to the emergency law, which Syria has been under since 1963, and dissolving government security courts. So far protesters have not been satisfied with the reforms.
